“…(18,19) This limitation of the plantar afferent induced by foam caused decrease in postural performance whatever the population. (5,17) This result must be observed for our population that postural performances must be decreased for each group (Ct and NP) on standing on foam. But the foam also reduces NCIS nociception of NP subjects thus induce a new of the plantar afferent plantar somatosensory sensations and improvement of their postural performances.…”

“…(2) Reducing the effectiveness of afferent sensory plantar information by foam could be used to evaluate postural control by decreasing the reliability of sensory information from plantar mechanoreceptors, (14,15) but could also be used to reduce nociceptive plantar information by reducing the perception thresholds for cutaneous pressure pain. (16,17) The nociceptive capacity of the plantar irritating stimulus (NCPIS), affects plantar cutaneous somesthesia, even with no foot disorder or mechanical pain perception. (18,19) This limitation of the plantar afferent induced by foam caused decrease in postural performance whatever the population.…”

Introduction: Sensory information from vestibular, visual, proprioception, and feet contribute on postural control. Plantar afferent contribution comes from the tactile and nociceptive cues of the plantar sole. Nociceptive capacity of plantar irritating stimulus (NCPIS) is one of the foot problems that induce nociception. Objective: Was to determine the postural impact of sensory input flow modifications induced by foam in people with and without nociceptive plantar irritating stimuli in different ages (children, adolescents, and adults). Method: 120 participants with (NP) and X without (Ct) NCPIS in different age group were evaluated (20 subjects in each age group and conditions). Postural balance assessment was performed during two-legged stance test using a force platform. Postural recoding was performed with eyes open in two conditions: on a hard surface and on a foam surface. The postural balance parameter analyzed was center of pressure area and variance of speed. Results: Area and variance of speed in control group increased, whereas decreased in NP subjects. No differences were observed for mean speed. In the Ct group, nociceptor and mechanoreceptor afferent sensations on foam induced postural variation with more oscillations (area and speed). Conclusion: NCPIS influenced postural control, and this foam neutralization of afferent nociception induced a new sensory organization. Foam surface imitated afferent plantar sensory information, induced postural variation as measured by CoP parameters with increasing postural control in subjects without NCIPS and decreasing postural control in subjects with NCPIS.

Abstract.[Purpose] The present study investigated the influence of a plantar perceptual learning task on brain activity using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.[Subjects] Ten healthy volunteers participated in this study.[Methods] Seated subjects performed a hardness discrimination task using the soles of their feet to discriminate between sponges with 5 different levels of hardness over a period of 10 days. Brain activity was measured using f NIRS during the discrimination task on the first and final days. A cap with optical fibers covered to cover the frontal and parietal lobes, as well as the temporal and occipital lobes.[Results] On Day 1 of the task, oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) increased significantly in the prefrontal and premotor areas, and the parietal association and motor-speech areas. On Day 10 of the task, oxyHb levels increased significantly in the supplemental motor area, and the parietal association and motor-speech areas.[Conclusion] Activation of the brain was noted in the prefrontal, premotor, and supplemental motor areas as well as the parietal association and motor-speech areas during the plantar perceptual learning task.

“…It has been shown that proprioception and cutaneous receptor sensitivity are significantly enhanced by exercise performed on unstable surfaces compared with exercise on stable surfaces [ 13 , 14 ]. Recent evidence estimates that plantar perception training on foam rubber of different levels of hardness significantly improves plantar perception, which is insensitive even in healthy old adults, to improve balance abilities [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Multisurface terrain that consists of different materials with variable stability, flatness, and hardness can provide different sensory information to enhance perceptual function.…”

Walking on complex surface conditions in outdoor environments is important for active aging. This study aimed at examining whether fall prevention exercise integrated with an outdoor multisurface terrain compared with indoor solid ground was more beneficial for older adults. Twenty-two older nursing home residents were randomly assigned to outdoor multisurface terrain (n = 11, 79.5 ± 2.1 years) or indoor solid ground (n = 11, 78.8 ± 5.2 years) groups. Training occurred five times per week (30 min) for 3 weeks. The following performance test outcomes were measured: 10 m walk test (10 mWT), multisurface terrain walk test (MTWT), 2 min walk test (2 MWT), timed up and go test (TUGT), single-leg standing test with eyes open (SLSTEO), single-leg standing test with eyes closed (SLSTEC), and closed cycles test (CCT). Compared with baseline, the outdoor multisurface terrain training significantly improved performance in all tests (p < 0.01). The improvements of the outdoor multisurface terrain group after intervention were significantly higher than those of the indoor solid group in the 10 mWT (p = 0.049), MTWT (p = 0.02), and 2 MWT (p = 0.000). Exercise combined with outdoor multisurface terrain training may be an efficacious approach and a feasible environmental intervention for fall prevention in older adults.
